Neighbors sold the estate farm 2 weeks ago and it is almost all tiled today. It is 240 acres that border me on 2 sides. They split in 2 parcels-a 80 and a 160. The 80 brought $7999/Acre and the 160 brought $7250/ acre. 2 different buyers bought it and hired the same outfit to tile it. It really impressed me the way they put tile in. We had a mom and pop operation but we had junk compared to these people. Most of the machines are about new. The tile plow is a Bron mounted on what started out as a Buhler(Versatile) that was modified to put the plow on. I guess it is still a family operation--Dad runs the excavator--Son runs the plow--Mom or daughter strings tile and grandson closes tile ditches. Hired help makes connections. Really NICE people!!! I rode with the plow guy and watched in awe at the amount of tile they could put in in a short time-the lines were over 2000 ft. in length when I was riding along and the guy in the plow never got out. He would pull the one line in and then back down over where the next one was going and the computer would remember the slope and low spots and control the depth. The plow tractor is rated at 550 hp. and they hit a rock yesterday that stopped it-broke the point of the plow. They were putting them on 50 ft. spacing so it was taking 871 ft. per acre. They ran about 200 ft. of 12 in. tile main down to the creek through me. Lots of $$$ but the old saying is you pay for tile whether you have them or not.---Tee
